Topic: Validation options on different platforms

Morten Ernebjerg (Nov 28 2019 at 14:53):

I was wondering if there exists a list of libraries for validation on different platforms/languages. I particularly mean libraries that do not necessarily provide full "gold standard" validation, but still work with custom profiles (i.e. go beyond JSON schema validation against the base resource schemata). Apart from the Java/HAPI validator and the Simplifier/Vonk one, the only one I am aware of is the fhir NPM package. The validation page from the spec does not mention a lot of options, but maybe I just looked in the wrong places.

I don't know of any other options. There was a pascal option, but I just can't keep that up to date

OK, thanks! Are there thoughts about making the Java validator available on other platforms via cross-platform "bridges", e.g. smt. like Kotlin native?

BTW, @nicola (RIO/SS), how do you handle validation for AidBox/fhirbase?

In Aidbox we compile SD to extended JSON-SCHEMA and use it for validation!

@nicola (RIO/SS) Ah, thanks! When you say "extended JSON-SCHEMA", do you mean that you "pad" the schema validator with custom validation logic e.g. for constraints?
